Just got the car off the ground started it and put it in first gear and let the clutch both wheels spin.. I'm sure the narrows down the problem. Got my reciept out for transmission and I think I still have the stock mainshaft. So I guess it was a matter of time before it broke. As long as that's all that got damaged I'm going the get the upgraded shaft and I should be good to go. Keep your fingers crossed for me guys and I may come out under a $1k repair bill.

Jeez. A buddy of mine had an 03Z that was procharged running 16#s and had a blower cam, making a tad over 700 to the wheels. Level 3 monster clutch and stock trans and diff. The only thing that ever went on that was the water pump and that car has seen a TON of track passes over the years. No idea how it's held up so far.
